John Paul Phelan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

All 13 seats allocated to Ireland will be filled following the European elections if the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, either with or without a deal, on 29 March next. In this scenario, the amendments to the detailed count and notification rules will not require implementation.

In addition, the amendments to section 11 of the European Parliament Act 1997 in respect of the prohibition of the holding of dual mandate for certain officeholders, that is, Members of the Oireachtas and those others outlined, would no longer need to be implemented. Accordingly, the enactment of these provisions will be subject to a commencement order should the need arise when the position becomes clearer.
